Dog Obedience Training in Washington State

Even the most beautiful dog can be aggravating if it doesn't behave around a variety of people or when you take it out for a walk. Gain the confidence you need to take your dog anywhere by turning to Echowood German Shepherds. We offer dog obedience training in Washington State. We use a proven method of obedience training to teach your pet how to act in all settings.

Cost for the private one-on-one lesson with our German Shepherd breeder is $150. The training collar and training manual are provided. The manual outlines the lessons that are to be continued at his home. The handler works with his dog daily, returning for a follow-up session usually in one week. Follow up lessons are $20 and last about 30 minutes; these lessons are with other dogs in attendance.

The first training/counseling lesson lasts about one hour. This session should include the dog's handler and his human family. Everyone involved with the dog must be on the same mindset regarding the dog's obedience training. For instance, when calling the dog, he will become confused, anxious, and frustrated if different commands and signals are given.

The prong training collar that the Woodworth Method uses is the squeeze, or sometimes called the pinch collar. This collar does not pinch the dog's neck but mimic's the behavior dogs use to correct one another. WWhen a German Shepherd pup bites his mother testing her response, the dam will place her jaws around the pup’s head applying enough pressure until the pup yelps in protest; he won't play bite her again.
